Using A Snoring Chin Strap
I have a
most embarrassing and haunting secret which I carry around like baggage. Yes,
I was a snorer, yes, one of those. The feeling of shame, which I cannot
escape, only comes with being a snorer. I know that it is false shame because,
come on, one is born a snorer. Don't feel bad for me though.
Feel bad for my
poor wife who claims that I sound like a dying elephant haunting all her dreams,
giving her no sleep. She would awake every morning on the grumpy side of the bed,
mad at me for something I couldn't help, leaving me to feel like a terrible
husband. To take immediate action and avoid long-term marriage problems, my wife
dragged me into the family physician to investigate my snoring
problem.
Who knows? I could
have been under the influence of something like sleep apnea. However, the doctor
just told us that I have regular stop snoring
problems, nothing fancy, so now I was off to find a snoring
device.
At the store, I
found nasal strips which cushion under the nasal and are uniquely made to
spread-wide those nasal passages. My hopes were so high when I saw those, and I
felt like maybe I would become a new man. If I was a puppy, my tail would have been
wagging all over the place.
However, my happy
ship sank when I got home and put those uncomfortable buggers on. If my wife
thought I was handsome before, well, now, she must have thought I was Frankenstein.
Instead, I went to the store and found a chin strap, which worked pretty well. I
was able to fall asleep with it on. Even though it made me look like goofy with
underwear on his head, it was worth it.
Besides, I am sure
my wife would rather have good night's sleep than a handsome husband in the long
run. These days my snoring problem is history, and my wife is able to be sleeping
beauty again.
To celebrate, we
even bought a firm mattress, which also aids in my snoring recovery. At one point,
we thought about sleeping separately, just to get more sleep. I am so glad that the
chin strap works, and we can act like married people again.
